Kids These Days
On World Youth Day, Motherhood, and Teaching
Summary
Jane Sloan Peters remembers World Youth Day in Toronto back in 2002 when she was a teenager. She also talks about being a young mother and a teacher; she is Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at the College of Mount Saint Vincent in the Bronx. We also discuss her articles in America Magazine, her teaching philosophy, and the faith journey she has been on since her teenage conversion to the present day.
- Professor Peters’s faculty webpage at the College of Mount Saint Vincent in the Bronx.
- Jane Sloan Peters’s articles (several of which we discussed today) for America Magazine, the Jesuit Review.
- Inside the Vatican podcast: “Deep Dive: How World Youth Day became an epic event for young Catholics” episode with Jane Sloan Peters (her interview begins at 28:40, though of course the whole episode is lovely).
- Toni Morrison’s Nobel Prize Lecture (1993).
